8.3.5

New Capabilities

This release adds support for Teradata OLAP 14.10.

This release adds MapR Hadoop Hive connectivity for the Mac.

Known Issues: Fixed
The issue found in the original build of Tableau Desktop 8.3.5 (build 8300.15.0421.2230) that resulted in Tableau closing when you performed a worksheet action like Hide or Delete has been fixed. A new build (8300.15.0506.2230) is available from the Customer Account Center.

To make sure you are using the updated version, download the currently available version of Tableau Desktop and go to Help > About Tableau. The version should be 8300.15.0506.2230. For details on the original issue, see “When performing a worksheet action like Hide or Delete...” below.

An unrelated issue in the installer for Tableau Desktop on the Mac was also fixed. This issue resulted in Tableau not installing if it had not previously been installed.

These issues did not affect Tableau Server 8.3.5.

Corrected Issues

In addition to the new capabilities, the following issues that were reported to us in prior releases have been corrected.

When republishing a workbook with embedded credentials, you were not prompted for user credentials and subsequent attempts to refresh the extract on Tableau Server would fail because user credentials had not been entered.

378400

When you selected a file on SharePoint for use in Tableau Desktop or Tableau Reader, sometimes the file would not open.

378489

When editing a calculated field using a formula that included English text and Arabic or Hebrew characters, the formula punctuation and text displayed incorrectly.

When performing a worksheet action like Hide or Delete, Tableau Desktop could close unexpectedly.

379035

When you edited a worksheet title in the Edit Title dialog box while using a right-to-left language (such as Arabic or Hebrew), clicking the Left alignment button showed the text as right aligned.

378969

When creating bins on a measure with a name that includes the percent (%) character, the first bin was created successfully, but a subsequent attempt to create a bin would result in an error: "Internal Error An unexpected error occurred and the operation could not be completed" or Tableau would close unexpectedly.

378386

When a user filter referenced a field that was added to the filters shelf, and you included the user filter field in a dynamic title, the title did not display properly.

When you attempted to access a workbook view that was published with embedded credentials from a Teradata OLAP connector, you were sometimes prompted for credentials and the view might never load.

329510

When you navigated to a view a second time, after first opening it using a URL action, the view retained the filter selection from the URL action rather than showing an unfiltered view.

379057

After you upgraded Tableau Server, the subscription icon for published views no longer appeared.

379036

When exporting a dashboard from Tableau Server to a PDF or image file, extra lines appeared near the top of the view.

378716

When you exported a published workbook as PDF, the page size didn’t use the value specified in the Server PDF Export dialog box. Multiple exports sometimes had different page sizes or orientations.

334843

The "tabadmin warmup" command only worked if the primary server was configured with a gateway process.

379037

Some non-alphanumeric characters in the Run As User account password resulted in errors when the Kerberos configuration script was run. This prevented a successful Kerberos configuration. As a workaround, the administrator could manually add quotes around the password in the Kerberos script.

378909

After an administrator changed Tableau Server to use SAML for authentication, if a Tableau Desktop user opened a workbook from Tableau Server by clicking a thumbnail, the user was shown a sign-in dialog box in which the Server field was unavailable. Entering credentials resulted in a "Username/password incorrect" error.
